// Roasted Buttered Pecans

Happy National Nut Day! And truth be told we've all had our nutty and nuttier moments (brain muddles included from information overload and derailment)— :::unabashedly raising both hands::: We've got to be a little crazy these days to survive all the unstable goings-on out there. Here is a nut we can all agree on. They're super-healthy (no lectins) and easily roasted with a drizzle of maple syrup butter for a sweet and happy ending. I love adding a crushed few of these to my decadent vanilla bean and butterscotch ice cream for dessert, and...

// Cranberry-Orange Granita

'Keeping the elevated vibes going after our 'turkey day', and into our other upcoming Thanksgiving with my Cranberry-Orange Granita. A blend of two fall berries— cranberries for the win, with a generous splash of fresh and sweet navel orange juice. Another way to enjoy our Reds! :) #warmerfallday #testkitchenfiles

// Raisin Liqueur Ice Cream

Boldly stepping into our warmer spirits for fall with my Raisin Liqueur Ice Cream. A mix of golden and dark raisins soaked in dark rum (in a cool and dark cupboard) for just over a year. Looking forward to homemade gluten-free ice cream cookie sandwiches for our long weekend. 'Staying cozy. Happy Thanksgiving! ~xx
